When it comes to toddler Halloween costumes, we can’t get enough. If you live with a toddler or see one on a regular basis, this is your chance to dress your demanding toddler into whatever costume your heart desires.
Toddlers are sunshine and storm clouds – often at the same time. Trying to impose logic on a situation will oftentimes get you nowhere. For you, the exhausted caregiver, we give you toddler Halloween costumes!
Want your toddler to look like Negan from The Walking Dead? Need them to be a scarecrow to fit into your Wizard of Oz theme? Think it would be hilarious to dress them up as Heisenberg from Breaking Bad? We have all of these and more.
Some toddlers have caught on and demanded their own ideas for homemade costumes. We give props to the dad who turned his son into the “juicy, juicy pear” he needed to be.
Probably our favorite homemade costumes are the ones parents have created around their toddlers’ wheelchairs. The love and care that goes into the construction of those DIY costumes is truly unrivaled.
So, whether you want to stick with a pretty Tinkerbell or a bloody Chucky doll, you will find plenty of inspiration here to guide you on your quest.

For the past two years my son has won our local costume parade making this year exceptionally hard to outdo the previous two.

We actually built most of this costume for Halloween 2012, but after Hurricane Sandy hit NYC (where we live) there weren’t many Halloween celebrations going on. So, we put it all away and pulled it out for 2013. Dad is the one with all of the technical and creative skills, but Mom and King Kong … Read more
My son, who is three, is wearing this costume. I gave him about 9 options (when he was two) and he said no to all of them. So I randomly suggested Willy Wonka and he started screaming “yes”. That started the ball rolling. I picked up the fabric for the vest and coat at Joanne,which was … Read more
This was my daughter’s second Halloween costume. It was VERY last minute and very inexpensive! Half of the stuff I already had. I was absolutely against a pre-made store costume.

All my friends are dressing their babies up as fuzzy zoo animals or some costume that came in a bag from the store. That just is not my thing.
